| Aims Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity, resulting from compression of the median nerve. Tremor, a rhythmic and involuntary movement of any part of the body, is the most common movement disorder, affecting millions of people worldwide. There is limited research on the coexistence of CTS and ET (essential tremor). Methods This prospective study included patients aged 18-65 who presented to the neurology outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with ET. Participants supplied informed consent, a sociodemographic form, and the Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Clinical Tremor Rating Scale (FTM TRS). Patients were evaluated for the presence and severity of CTS with electromyography (EMG). The EMG data were categorized as normal, mild, moderate, and severe CTS. Results In the study, the average age of the 50 ET patients was 56.0 (35.0-64.0) years. The gender distribution comprised 22 (44.0%) males and 28 (56.0%) females. The following tremor locations were reported: 41 (82.0%) in both upper extremities, 3 (6.0%) in the right upper extremity, 2 (4.0%) in the left upper extremity, 1 (2.0%) in both upper extremities, head tremor, and voice, and 3 (6.0%) in both upper extremities and head tremor. A high prevalence of CTS was detected in ET patients (46%). Additionally, a positive correlation was found between CTS in ET patients, long disease duration, and female gender. No significant relationship was found between FTM TRS Part A, Part B, Part C, total scores, and median sensory and motor nerve amplitude and velocity values in ETS patients. Conclusion CTS is more common in … |
